Carranza, Martinez & Glesnes questionable for Dallas

Julian Carranza is still in concussion protocol and Jose Martinez and Jakob Glesnes are both playing with pain amidst the second game of a three games in eight days stretch for the Philadelphia Union tonight against FC Dallas.

“At this point of the year, nobody’s 100% healthy, and it’s been a busy schedule so we have to navigate it,” Union head coach Jim Curtin said Tuesday. “No excuses, we have to find a way to get points.”

Carranza suffered a concussion early in the game against LAFC but initially passed the tests only to sub out at halftime. It’s uncertain when he’ll be available to play.

Jose Martinez didn’t dress last game due to back pain but Curtin is optimistic to have him available off the bench tonight. He played 67 minutes in Charlotte and 63 minutes against FC Cincinnati. The Venezuela international has finished just one in his last four games: he left in the 26th minute against DC United.

Glesnes missed his first start in 101 MLS games on Saturday but Damion Lowe and Jack Elliott both played well as a tandem in securing the clean sheet.

“It’s hour by hour day by day how he wakes up and feels,” Curtin said of Glesnes. “I could tell you, if it’s a playoff game tomorrow he’s playing.”

Leon Flach remains out with injury.
